Avène Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Make-Up Remover

Birchbox Breakdown

A lip tint that doubles as a blush? We love that. A hair tie that’s also a funky bracelet? Always invited to our arm parties. In short, we’re big fans of the multitasking product, and this cleanser/toner/makeup-remover hybrid is definitely at the top of our must-have list. The unique 3-in-1 formula is based on a micelle principle that protects and releases cleansing agents and softening actives upon contact with the skin. It acts as a gentle no-rinse cleanser to eliminate impurities and any traces of makeup, while simultaneously offering toning benefits and hydrating your complexion.

How it Works

This does-it-all beauty essential is actually formulated without soap, oil, or alcohol. The hypoallergenic formula contains Avène Thermal Spring Water and chamomile to soften and soothe skin, hyaluronic acid to moisturize, and gentle surfactants to cleanse and whisk away even the most stubborn makeup.

Very Happy With This

Wonderful cleanser for folks with sensitive skin. Removes my makeup completely, and my face doesn't feel dry or tight. I have been using it for a week now and my fussy skin has shown no signs of dryness or redness. This is my new daily cleanser!

Great, but pricey

As the others below, I think this is an excellent, non-greasy makeup remover and light toner. It is especially good for summer months, when my skin is a little more oily than usual. I like it, and I will probably continue to rotate it with some of my other cleansers. It is pricey, and there is a teensy part of me that wonders how much better it is than just plain old water, but my skin does feel more hydrated, and my makeup does come off. That's what I paid for, and that's what's happening. I find value in that, so it will continue in the rotation.

Great Make-Up Remover

I have tried many make-up removers...many. This one is by far my favorite. It isn't greasy and all I need is one cotton pad to remove eye make-up and a quick once over for the rest of my face. After using this for a month, I have opted to
buy the cleanser, the mask, and the face moisturizer. Great product line.

excellent product

I got this because since I wear sunscreen everyday I wanted to have a toner to help take it off at the end of the day.
it is so gentle on my skin, and smells light not heavy. this is a great product to use at the end of the day really like this.
I have sensitive skin and have to be careful what I put on my face, this is a good one.

A Fave Product!

I first bought this make-up remover in France, and I was glad when I realized I can buy it here too! I love it for everyday use. I use it to clean off my eye makeup before washing my face, as well as for freshening up my overall skin when I don't want to wash my face with cleanser. This is also the only truly non-oily makeup remover I've come across!!

Good for picky skin

I have a plethora of allergies, and I've never found a make-up remover that didn't make my hives flare up until I got this product in my birchbox. For those of you with very picky skin, I'd highly recommend this.
